This FAQ covers many questions and speculations of the Net.Jordanites in rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan. It contains Spoilers up to Lord of Chaos, so don't read it if you didn't read it yet. The FAQ valid for the time before Lord of Chaos was published is still kept around and can be accessed here . The FAQ was converted to HTML by Helmut Geyer, Helmut.Geyer@iwr.uni-heidelberg.de, and has been taken over by The Cabal {TINC}, wot@linuxmafia.com.
